Qantas CEO Alan Joyce says COVID-19 vaccinations will be compulsory on Qantas flights once international travel takes off again and he will be changing the terms and conditions of travel to make sure of it.
Speaking on Australian TV show A Current Affair, Joyce also said vaccinations could possibly become mandatory for domestic travel, but that would depend on the situation at the time.
“For international travellers, we will ask people to have a vaccination before they get on the aircraft,” Joyce said.
“Certainly, for international visitors coming out and people leaving the country we think that’s a necessity.”
Joyce also thinks Qantas won’t be alone in enforcing the vaccine requirement.
“I think that’s going to be a common thing talking to my colleagues in other airlines around the globe.”
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Sounds like a nail being pounded in the coffin of international tourism if you ask me.
